Speaking of connecting e-democracy/e-government/e-politics researchers the Do-Research YahooGroup is moving to DoWire Groups. It is largest and most active international online community of practice for researchers in the field. In the past it was invite-only, now it is open to all as long you agree to update your member profile and post at least once a year. Join here: http://groups.dowire.org/groups/research For more information, on Demo-Net see: http://www.demo-net.org Cheers, Steven Clift http://dowire.org The survey note: Dear Researchers, First of all apologies if you have already responded to this request. This is a request from DEMO-Net, the Network of Excellence which has been established by the European Commission to map current research and define future policy in the field of eParticipation. Until now, research in eDemocracy and eParticipation has suffered from fragmentation, often being disparate and unfocused, where many researchers are often unaware of relevant developments in disciplines other than their own. DEMO-Net seeks to rectify this lack of coordination with an unparalleled opportunity for joined-up, multidisciplinary research to advance the state-of-the-art in research technologies and evaluation frameworks for participation. The ultimate aim of such research is to enable broader and more informed participation in the policy making process. This questionnaire has been designed to create a worldwide roadmap of researchers in the area of eParticipation, so that we can discover, amongst other things: * who you are; * what tools and techniques you use, and which academic domains you work in * where you publish and which conferences you attend; * keywords you would use to describe your own work; * other colleagues/fellow researchers you know are working in the same field The questionnaire is fairly short and we would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to complete it.
